Habitat Greenville’s Credit Union Build starts on Sturtevant
February 25, 2026
Representatives and volunteers from 11 local credit unions gathered on Sturtevant Street to raise a wall, but more importantly uplift a family on their path to homeownership.
“This is the second year of the Credit Union Build,” said LaTonya Phillips, CEO and President of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County. “And it is another shining example of how we collaborate with others in the community to create more affordable housing options.”
Wednesday’s wall raising was at 101A Sturdevant, and is part of Habitat’s “Anniversary Collective” celebrating the affiliate’s 40th anniversary of building homes in Greenville. Staff from Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union, Spero Financial, Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union, MTC Federal Credit Union, Greenville Federal Credit Union, Founders Federal Credit Union, South Carolina Federal Credit Union, Truliant Federal Credit Union, Family Trust Federal Credit Union, Greenville Heritage Credit Union, and CPM Federal Credit Union are taking part in the build.
“Habitat Greenville helps strengthen our community by supporting affordable home ownership,” said Scott Weaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Foothills Credit Federal Credit Union. “By working together, we are creating lasting change for families and neighborhoods.
Habitat Greenville began building on Sturtevant Street in the Bramlett community near White Horse Road in 2023 and has completed nine single family houses so far. The Credit Union Build will construct the first duplex for Habitat Greenville.
“Our goal is to create more doors and opportunities,” Phillips said. “Duplex building is a model many other affiliates are going to, and we see them as a great opportunity.”
